You serve like a pro to help our consumers discover the product that inspires them - from living rooms to locker rooms - to move, dream, and dare. You're in the store building brand trust and loyalty, but you don't do it alone.

We play in a fast-paced, high traffic environment, across store zones and consumer needs, but there's no ego. We're one team, showing up with optimism and hunger for the collective win. The goal is to serve our consumer and provide them with the ultimate Nike store experience. Are you up for it?

Standard shifts are generally scheduled between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM of the store's timezone. Overnight positions may work shifts between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM of the store's timezone. Specific schedules will vary by location, season, and business demands. Shifts are scheduled based on store needs and your employment type.

Managers will make every effort to schedule shifts within your provided availability, though business needs may occasionally require additional or different availability. In markets where applicable, scheduling practices will reflect local legal requirements, including guaranteed hours and reasonable shift notice.

Retail Expected Hours

• Full Time: 40 hours/week
• Part Time: 8-38 hours/week

Be Rewarded for a Job Well Done

• Attractive salary that evolves with the market and experience.
• Opportunity of receiving monthly bonus payments.

• You fuel the day's momentum. You know the product, honor the details, and keep the store sharp. You hit your goals and move with purpose.
• You build connection. You show up for the consumer and your teammates. You bring the energy of sport, share your knowledge, and create a space where everyone feels seen and supported.
• You bring integrity to every moment. You meet our elevated standards, communicate honestly, and model reliability in every interaction.
